GA-1 Bomber

The Boeing GA-1 was an American armored ground-attack aircraft developed just after the First World War, not a combat bomber that fought in the conflict. Its large twin-engine triplane arrangement and protective armor reflected an attempt to obtain a specialized battlefield aircraft. Weight, performance, and practical operating difficulties limited the concept, and only a small production run followed. The aircraft’s importance lies in early American thinking about protected air support. Its 1920s development differed from the operational attack aircraft that emerged much later with different engines, weapons, and tactical experience. Boeing built the aircraft under an Army engineering design rather than a conventional commercial airliner program.
